Leaving the flower stem on the plant after the flowers are finished can result in a keiki growing lower on the stem.

With Phals they develop keiki when they like and it is also controlled by the genetics of the plant. Some produce keiki easier than others. There are pastes advertised to help induce keiki but I have my doubts on how well they work.

The Dtps was correct it is a Doritis Phalaenopsis cross. Doritis are a closely related group to Phalaenopsis. For the hobbyist, you can consider and treat them the same.
